BCE Inc. is currently running 16.2% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against BCE's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 55th percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 15.2%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

BCE is trading -66.6% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -17.9%, and the deepest was -46.3% in 2024. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -17.0% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 6th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year BCE closed higher on 45% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, BCE finished the month higher 6 of 13 times, with a median return of -1.4% and an average of -0.4%. Its strongest month historically has been January at +2.6% on average, its weakest September at -3.6%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: BCE has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 67 of 3,267 sessions (2.1% of the time), with the largest gaps running +9.8% and -7.2%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 3,268 daily closes between 2013-10-07 and 2026-10-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against BCE's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
